Cookie

Some live streaming platforms require users to be logged in to watch content. To record these types of live streams, you'll need to add the corresponding platform in the software and then paste the Cookie information. This ensures proper recording. Here are two methods to obtain website cookies:

This method is generally reliable and doesn't require any browser extensions.

  1. Log In: Open your browser and log in to the live streaming platform you want to record from.
  2. Open Developer Tools: Right-click anywhere on the page and select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element" to open the browser's developer tools.
  3. Refresh Page: This is a crucial step! Refresh the page to ensure you capture the most current cookie information.
  4. Navigate to Network Tab: In the developer tools, click on the "Network" tab.
  5. Select First Request: In the list of network requests on the left, click on the very first request.
  6. Access Headers: Switch to the "Headers" tab for that request.
  7. Locate Cookie: Scroll down to the "Request Headers" section and find the field labeled "Cookie."
  8. Copy Cookie String: Right-click and copy the entire string of characters that comes after "Cookie:".

This method can be quicker for some, but keep in mind that some websites may not fully support it.

  1. Install Cookie-Editor:

    • For Chrome: Get it from the Chrome Web Store: Cookie-Editor
    • For Microsoft Edge: Get it from Microsoft Edge Add-ons: Cookie-Editor

  2. Log In to the Website: Open the target website in your browser, log into your account, and stay on any page within that site.

  3. Export the Cookie:

    • Click the Cookie-Editor icon in your browser's toolbar (usually in the top right).
    • In the bottom-right corner of the pop-up window, click the "Export" button.
    • From the dropdown menu that appears, select "Header String." This action will automatically copy the cookie to your clipboard.

  4. Done! Your website cookie (as a header string) has now been copied and is ready to be pasted where needed.
